11. OPTIONAL STEP: If you are installing a PCIe card which requires
additional power and must be connected to auxiliary power, locate
the wire harness connected the 6-pin connector indicated in the
graphic to the right
(Figure 5). Remove the cable twist tie securing the
wire harness, and move the loose connector aside for later connection.
Otherwise, go to the next step.
12. OPTIONAL STEP: If you are installing BNC connectors into the
chassis’ mounting holes, skip to the appendix at the end of the
document for instructions. Otherwise, go to the next step.
13. Remove a PCIe card from its packaging, handling the card by its edges
and without touching any components or gold connector pins.
14. Line up the card’s connector with the slot, and then gently but firmly
press the card straight into the slot; do not rock the card or force the
card into the slot. If you encounter excessive resistance, check the
card’s connector and the slot for damage, and then try inserting the
card again
(Figure 6).
15. Repeat steps 13 and 14 as necessary with any remaining cards.
16. If you installed a card which requires auxiliary power, connect the
auxiliary power connector to it now.
17. Install the port access covers you removed previously for any
unoccupied slots (Figure 6).
18. Secure the cards and port access covers using the previously removed
PCIe card bracket locking plate (Figure 6).

WARNING: When handling computer products, take care to prevent
components from being damaged by static electricity; avoid working
in carpeted areas. Handle expansion cards only by their edges and avoid
touching connector traces and component pins. Also, avoid touching the
Echo chassis’ circuit boards and any of its components.
